An energetic 6'5 forward with a good feel for the game, McCarthy is still improving his jump shot and is more fluid than explosive, but flashed more consistent shot making ability than we'd seem from him in the past, even if his jump shot is still a work in progress. Finishing with 9 points and 5 rebounds, McCarthy, as he's often been when we've seen him in person, was a key contributor for his team.

Having made a name for himself at the ACB Minicopa, a youth tournament contested during the ACB Cope del Rey, McCarthy is an impressive player though he just turned 14. Standing 6'4, McCarthy's father is from Ghana and his mother in from the Canary Islands, explaining how he landed on the roster of Gran Canaria's youth teams.
